Hi Ed,

I had gathered that the predefined .dat files wouldn't work, but 
couldn't find out what polarities were involved for the Blazers.
The default IIRC for the software is positive values - I assume you 
tried also with the negative switches?

I did download the 22MB Linux files from the WinPower site, but was 
unable to unwrap the *.tar.rar etc. types, with what I have to hand - I 
had pulled down the 13 individual Linux files - not the composite single 
executable - which is a WIN32 extractor!
I had been hoping to look at the Linux docs to see if there were any 
text configuration files etc., there.

That was from www.ups-software-download.com : serial-key is in the 
Blazer userguide and also on the original packaging.
